Report: Bills, Tre'Davious White finalizing 4-year, $70M extension
The Buffalo Bills are finalizing a four-year, $70-million extension with All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, report ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler.
The $17.5-million annual average would make White the highest-paid corner in the NFL.

3. Byron Jones, MIA, $16.5M
4. Xavien Howard, MIA, $15M

White's $55 million in guaranteed money is also the most given to a corner, according to Schefter.
In just three seasons, White has established himself as one of the league's top cover men. He earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team honors in 2019 after allowing 45 completions on 90 targets and refusing to allow a touchdown reception against him.
He added a career-high six interceptions and 17 passes defensed while leading the NFL's fourth-ranked pass defense.
White may not be the highest-paid corner by annual average for long, as the Los Angeles Rams continue to work on an extension for Jalen Ramsey.
